How many papers in geography studies say that the Earth is round? Barely any. Clearly geographical studies is split over whether he Earth is flat because if it was important they'd be researching it, right? Or, possibly, most climatoligsts see the evidence is already so overwhelming that they've moved on and don't see the need to publish more on settled science (and 97+% of all relevant papers agreeing is about as settled as science gets on something being actively looked at). The science of "Is AGW real?" is pretty much done. Those researching it are trying to find out exactly what the mechanism is, not whether it exists.

There is a meme in some circles that the next step is to try to force churches to perform marriages for same sex couples. Once that's been forced through (there's no question in their minds that it will be), any preacher who says no will go to jail.
<br />
It's daft given Loving vs Virginia did not force churches to perform interracial weddings, but there's a lot of paranoia and projection of their worst tendencies on their opponents going on at the moment.</p>Yuugasa wrote:Simon Legrande wrote:There are people out there who will take every opportunity to use favorable laws to put the screws to others.

Radiation is undetectable and will kill you in the scariest way people can imagine, wasting away from cancer.</p>
<p>There are also legitimate concerns such as:
<br />
Nuclear plants can produce fissile materials for bombs so it's hard to let other states get it, which we need to mitigate climate change.
<br />
Radioactive waste. We still don't really have a solution to this and adding more and more to the problem doesn't make it easier to deal with.
<br />
Expense. Cleanup makes it unprofitable, so companies require truly massive subsidies to build more.

Not sustainable. Like coal and oil, there's a limited supply of fissile material so eventuall we'll run out.</p>Yuugasa wrote:Actually that is something I've always wondered about.

If you claim to have a hot line to divine authority and morality that no one else has, as christianity does, you don't then get to say "everyone else is doing it" and get taken seriously especially if you then use said divine hotline to argue that everyone else is doing it wrong in other areas, ones that you personally are not doing but a lot of your fellow Christians most certainly are.</p>

Each weapon requires a separate swift action.

Each weapon uses one round of bane for each round it is set up to bane, so 2 weapons= 2 rounds of bane from your daily total per round.

You can continue bane as long as you wish, provided you can pay the cost in rounds, and drop it whenever you wish. So if you drop a weapon, you could keep it baned at the cost of 1 bane round per round it has bane applied and pick it up later, still bane, or let the bane lapse and do something else if picking it up is not viable.

<p>Personalised games really make the players feel that this is their story and not some random thing that they found on a notice board (or the GM found in Dungeon). Longer campaigns with one GM allow for this so much more than convention scenarios.</p>
